/**
* The PropertyEditorManager can be used to locate a property editor for
* any given type name. This property editor must support the
* java.beans.PropertyEditor interface for editing a given object.
* <P>
* The PropertyEditorManager uses three techniques for locating an editor
* for a given type. First, it provides a registerEditor method to allow
* an editor to be specifically registered for a given type. Second it
* tries to locate a suitable class by adding "Editor" to the full
* qualified classname of the given type (e.g. "foo.bah.FozEditor").
* Finally it takes the simple classname (without the package name) adds
* "Editor" to it and looks in a search-path of packages for a matching
* class.
* <P>
* So for an input class foo.bah.Fred, the PropertyEditorManager would
* first look in its tables to see if an editor had been registered for
* foo.bah.Fred and if so use that. Then it will look for a
* foo.bah.FredEditor class. Then it will look for (say)
* standardEditorsPackage.FredEditor class.
* <p>
* Default PropertyEditors will be provided for the Java builtin types
* "boolean", "byte", "short", "int", "long", "float", and "double"; and
* for the classes java.lang.String. java.awt.Color, and java.awt.Font.
